In the end, an e-reader with a screen that can be inverted to have a black background for reading in darker conditions (it obviously needs to have a front-light to make this work), is the best option.
I don't like the newer current Kobo's and Kindle Oasis form factor, so I'm sticking with my 5 year old Aura ONE, as it still works fine. If there's an e-reader with that form factor again, at around 7.8 or 8 inch, I might upgrade to get a newer device, but for functionality, I don't need to.

It is interesting how we all have our own views. For years I read on my iPad almost exclusively, but since I got my Kobo Forma, I've been using that. It's easier to read with a cat or two in your lap.
